Yes, it can. The "normal" static electricity we usually encounter isn't lethal. If we shuffle across a rug on a dry day, we can get a nasty zap! when we reach for the door knob. But note that lightning is static electricity, and it can kill or disable individuals with ridiculous ease.
What else can I help you with?
Can static electricity hurt you?
Short answer is yes. Static electricity i capable of causing a spark. There are 3 things needed for fire. Fuel, Oxygen and a source of ignition. If the other 2 conditions are met, then static electricity could certainly provide the ignition source.
Do static electricity light up your homes?
No, static electricity does not generate enough energy to light up homes. It is typically a small discharge of energy that can cause minor shocks or sparks, but it is not used as a source of lighting in residential settings.
What is static electricity and current electricity?
Static electricity is caused by the imbalance of electric charges on the surface of two objects, leading to the buildup of electrical potential energy. Current electricity, on the other hand, is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, powered by a source like a battery or generator. It is the type of electricity used in electronic devices and power grids.
What is the name given to electricity at rest?
i think its STORED ENERGY.
Why can't we use static electricity to power our houses?
Static electricity typically does not produce enough power to sustainably supply energy to a house. The amount of static electricity generated is minimal compared to the high energy demands of a household. Additionally, it is difficult to capture and convert static electricity efficiently into usable electrical power.

What kind of energy do you experience when you get shocked from a metal doorknob?
When you get shocked from a metal doorknob, you are experiencing static electricity. This occurs when an imbalance of electric charges builds up on the doorknob and your body, and discharges when you touch the doorknob.
What is the newest source of power for man?
static electricity.
What type of energy generates?
Static electricity
When you get shocked what kind of energy Is that?
Static Electricity
Does Static electricity releases a lot of energy for only a short time?
Yes static electricity does release a lot of energy for only a short time.
Is static electricity and resistance inexhaustible source?
Static electricity is inexhaustible. It's just the result of separating charges, and all matter is composed of charges. But you have to put energy into normal matter in order to separate the charges, and that's the energy that you get back when the static electricity discharges. Resistance is just the opposition to the flow of electrical current . . . the outward manifestation of the energy it takes to make electric charges flow from one place to another. It's not a source of anything, any more than, say, laziness or obstinacy are.
What state does the source to after the electrical discharge in static electricity?
The source returns to a balanced state.
What is the name given to electricity at rest?
i think its STORED ENERGY.
